520 |a The purpose of Mary's journey in Luke 1:39 is not mentioned in the narrative. A common way of interpreting this travel is to conclude that Mary travels hastily to confirm Elizabeth's pregnancy and/or in obedience to Gabriel's words.

Mary travels to Elizabeth to help her in the final months of her pregnancy, with the birth of John, and during the early postpartum period.
